Best Alternatives to qBittorrent 2022
One of the main draws to FrostWire is that, unlike any other file sharing application on this list, it can search through both torrent and cloud indices to find content that’s hosted on either protocol. This makes FrostWire one of the easiest clients to use, and it’s simple and sleek user interface only adds to the user experience.

  • Transmission 4.0.0 beta 1 is out
    You could also check out rtorrent: http://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/, but I remember reading that development has stalled on that project. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Useful tip for Linux/BSD users (Torrent specific use case)
    Where it really starts to shine is when you combine it with other CLI & TUI applications. I use openSSH, rtorrent and Tmux (or GNU screen) in combination with PIA's manual script to achieve a remote "seedbox". I don't need to access my computers when I'm away from my local network but one has the potential by creating their own local VPN or opening up the port to their seedbox. Source: about 2 years ago
